    Just an FYI.....
    I know Rick has the "myride" control thing, and it's still working, but when I was looking for the shocks, I read a ton of reviews that said that controller was a POS and broke /failed very quickly.

    It was often offered free as a sale/promo with the purchase of the shocks, that's the only was I'd do it. Look at various sites for reviews on it.

    ^^^ Ditto... EXACTLY what KAT said!

    I don't think I've ever found a review from a customer who was completely happy with MyRide. To be honest, I think I've patiently tolerated it in spite of it's faults because I'm such a tech/gizmo junkie. Based on the reviews, I would have NEVER bought it outright, but since it came as a "free" promotion when I bought a set of shocks on sale, I thought I would try it out.

    Still, It's not ALL bad ALL the time. I absolutely LOVE the ability to change settings while driving. Some of my problems were because the shop did a lousy job with the power wiring. I fixed that myself a while back so now it's fine. However, I do have an appointment next week to take it back to the shop to fix an air leak for the forth(?) fifth(?) time. That's the part that kept my interest level low before I got it. I know systems driven by compressed air = begging for problems IMHO.

    Fortunately, I expected problems so I kept all the original hardware (AND I even know where they are in the garage! ) Next time I develop a leak, it goes back to the shop one last time to have the original manual control knobs put back in.
